Miller has missed all of the past two games and most of another with a sprained medial-collateral ligament in his left knee. Kenny Guiton has come on to dominate, tossing a school-record six touchdowns on Saturday in the 76-0 washout over undermanned Florida A&M. Guiton is tied for fourth nationally with 13 touchdown passes and his pass-efficiency rating is considerably higher than Miller, who started the first two games before being injured.

Here's what head coach Urban Meyer had to say on Monday about Miller, Guiton and who'll play against the Badgers ...

On who'll start: "Braxton, if he has a good week of practice, will start. We'll see how practice goes this week."

On whether both could play at the same time: "I don't know if that's reality. I keep thinking, I just love both those players. I think they are good players but I don't know what that gives you. If Kenny was a better wide receiver than one of our receivers, he would be playing receiver; if Braxton was a better running back or something (he'd be running the ball), but they are not."

On how healthy Miller is: "I'm saying he's around 90 right now. He'll be a hundred by next week, I'm hoping."

On whether he's confident he'll be 100 percent by Saturday: "What I saw (during a Sunday workout), I'm much more confident. I mean, he had a very good day."

On if he thought Miller would be rusty after sitting out the last 11 quarters: "That's a tough question. I will tell you this: that I am very comfortable with both quarterbacks. Braxton, I imagine, will have a little bit of rust. That's what I was hoping to get out of the way last week. So I'm going to practice him real hard this week.

On settling for Guiton to start: "Kenny Guiton has shown me he can go in (and play well), and I didn't know that."

INJURY REPORT: In addition to Miller, the Buckeyes figure may also get back DE Adolphus Washington. He missed last week's game with a groin injury. Meyer listed him as probable.

Also, they will get DL Michael Bennett (stinger), who took the FAMU game off to recover.

Freshman WR James Clark sustained an ankle injury vs. FAMU and his position coach, Zach Smith, said he was "probably done for the year."

UNHAPPY ANNIVERSARY: Tuesday is the 36th anniversary of a memorable game at Ohio Stadium.

No. 3 Oklahoma came to play No. 4 Ohio State on Sept. 24, 1977, at the Horseshoe.

It was a matchup of some of the game's best: Hall of Fame coaches Barry Switzer (Oklahoma) vs. Woody Hayes (Denison, Miami (Ohio), Ohio State).

The Sooners jumped out to an early 20-0 advantage running the famed wishbone offense with Elvis Peacock and Hall of Famer Billy Sims. The Buckeyes, however, stormed back, capitalizing on six Oklahoma turnovers - over a span of eight possessions - and scoring 28-unanswered points to take the lead.

OU took advantage of an OSU fumble late in the game as Peacock added another touchdown, closing the deficit to 28-26.

Just before OU was set to kick a field goal, Hayes called a timeout in attempt to ice the kicker and Buckeyes fans began a "block that kick" chant.

Rather than get nervous, von Schamann raised his arms and egged on the crowd of 88,119. Then he nailed the 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining, giving Oklahoma a dramatic 29-28 victory.

FATHERLY ADVICE: Tim Spencer is one of the greatest RBs ever at Ohio State. So when he offers suggestions, you listen - even if he's your dad.

Spencer was an assistant coach for years in the NFL, but now is taking a year off after he was let go as part of the Lovie Smith regime with the Chicago Bears. That means he is able to go to the games - and talk about them for long periods afterward - of his WR son, Evan Spencer.

Evan was asked Monday if his dad, since he was a two-time All-Big Ten back and a former Buckeye MVP, ever critiqued Ohio State's current running backs.

"No. No, trust me, he critiques me too much," Evan said.

So, what does he talk about after games?

"He doesn't have a list. He's usually pretty quiet immediately after the game because my mom's still there," he said, laughing. "But later on when he can call me or we can talk alone, he's got a few things he likes to touch on."

Evan, who had two touchdown catches on Saturday, said it's a blessing to have his father available.

"I mean, it's awesome. It really is. It kind of feels like back in high school (in Vernon Hills, Ill.) when he got to go to the majority of my games," Evan said. "It's cool to have him there and I can look up on the sideline and see him there, just kind of egging me on, telling me to keep going, to keep grinding. It's really special and I'm thankful."
